Day 16 “Standing Up For Yourself” #IMAYBE Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

“Maybe you avoid conflict and tend to ‘people please’ because it wasn’t always safe for you to speak up for yourself, or have an alternate opinion.” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

Do You: Let ‘Em Boo

Day 15 “Do You: Let ‘Em Hate” #IMAYBE Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

Today, I came to the realization that my life is so much more fun when I don’t worry about other people’s opinions or criticism.

Meme Image of crowd of people booing, some with thumbs down. Text states: “It’s way more fun to not give a sh*t what other people think. It’s so much better to: care less about other people’s opinions, looking silly, comments, and criticism... to just do you and not care.” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist mdillondesigns.com/blog

If I’m totally honest with myself, I have tried to do all I could to avoid criticism for most of my life and 1) I was still criticized and 2) I’ve missed out on so many things I would’ve really enjoyed and likely would’ve been great at due to that fear.

So as I am shifting my “I am” statements—those internal rules about who I get to be, what I get to do, where I get to go and so on…. It’s time to accept that I am whoever I say I am, and get to do whatever I decide to do, and go where I want to go AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I get to not care what anyone thinks about it.

I have my core values and ethics that will guide me toward doing what isn’t directly or intentionally hurting anyone else. So I get to just enjoy my life and stop worrying who’s watching, criticizing, or questioning my right to do so. Just the thought of that brings me peace.

It’s a little scary… but that’s just habit. I’ve practiced being afraid of their opinions for a VERY long time. AND I get to form a new habit. And so do you.

Follow Your Bliss… Early

Sooo… I learned a valuable lesson, today. You know how I had that beautiful, blissful, aligned day, yesterday? I was hopping from beach, to beach, to lake…. I even did awesome fun things I didn’t tell y’all about.

Annnnd today…. was a different day.

During the recording of today’s podcast, I discovered the difference between yesterday and today. I started yesterday blissfully from the beginning. I got up early and started treating myself lovingly. I was up taking a bubble bath hours before my alarm went off. I was listening to my most empowering books and recordings.

I started the day right, yesterday. Not so much, today. And the days reflected that.

So guess who’s about to go to bed. I don’t need that lesson, again.

Enjoy the podcast (above or below)!

Blessings!

Taking the pressure off and posting part 2 now (which is technically a full podcast episode) since Part 1 needs so much editing and my evening is going differently than I desired.

Great episode about the cool things I did, and saw, today and the great lessons I picked up along the way.

Have an amazing whatever time of day it is for you.

Blessings!
